Capitol Hill 2012

Mexican President-Elect Enrique Pena Nieto delivers brief remarks in the Rayburn Room at the U.S. Capitol building on November 27, 2012 in Washington, D.C. He appeared there with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Pena Nieto's July election victory marked the return to power of the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) after a 12-year absence. He would also visit the White House and meet with President Barack Obama, just a few days before taking office on December 1. (Photo by Jeff Malet)
